"Pregnancy" is really a crazy and courageous journey for a couple. Yes, It was really a tough journey for me and my husband to get that beautiful bundle of joy in our hands amidst this "Pandemic".
Jan 14 2021 at 9pm - i had severe abdominal pain indicating early labor - rushed to hospital and got admitted - Overnight i had severe uterine contractions and i was screaming in pain - hoping that I'll have a normal vaginal delivery - time passed by - 10pm, 11pm,12am, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am - I was tolerating that unremitting pain to get my baby safely to this world 🌎
My mom and my husband consoled me and gave mental support to overcome the pain.
My husband gave his hand to me and I was squeezing it due to severe pain.
My mom kept saying that "baby is arriving soon, you have to tolerate this pain, you're a strong lady and you can do it " .
It was just 15 minutes to go for a normal vaginal delivery. Unfortunately At 5.30am - I had meconium stained liquor. (Meconium is the early stool passed by a newborn soon after birth). It is supposed to come after birth which came earlier inside the womb. It's dangerous if the baby aspirates that meconium into the lungs.
So...
I had to undergo emergency LSCS (Lower segment Caesarean section).
I signed the surgery consent with a heavy heart but I need to do this for saving my baby.
There comes the mandatory #covid test, it was easy for them to take sample since my mouth was wide open, because I was screaming badly 😅
Finally after the C Section, I heard my little girl's voice. I felt like she was telling me that "Mommy I'm safe".
It was a pure bliss when I saw that tiny little face and forever I won't forget that cute wink 😉
Later I became more drowsy, couldn't feel any movements in my lower part of the body. I was shifted to a different room. My baby was separated from me due to pending covid result. It was a very tough time for me. I couldn’t hold my baby soon after birth. But finally in the evening my test result turned out to be negative. “She” arrived near me. I touched her soft and silky skin. She opened her eyes and looked at me. A bond that meant to be forever began there 🥰
